I don't know about the release policies of Python, but if the minor releases, such as 2.2.3, are just fixes and no new features, then for the sake of end users it would be good to always update the main/core Python runtime. Same with wxWindows/wxPython. This then of course puts more pressure on stable releases and no exceptions, but I do think the open source movement is very professional with this today. --Kent
